=> Any idea where to change what to make youtube embeds in FORUM POSTS show correct dimensions?
(With the activity plus plugin, this works perfectly on the Activity Stream Wall... :wink:

Thanks in advance!

PS: As you may notice, on the last link above from my test site, there is also another error message showing after my upgrades:

"Warning: include(/home/jhproduc/public_html/wp-content/themes/bp-social/navigation.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/jhproduc/public_html/wp-content/themes/bp-social-child/lib/templates/wp-template/top-bar.php on line 28"

This must be related to my BuddyPress Social Theme (child theme) CUSTOMIZATIONS...
I already sent the person who did that custom work for me an email about it.
In case you have something to mention about that issue as well, I will not say no. :wink:

But that's talking about WIDTH, so I am not sure I understand how changing that value of 900px there to 500 (as you suggested) would help me with my HEIGHT issue of the video player.

Changing the width value should make the height readjust accordingly. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to do this from within the child theme - I'd test it in the parent theme and see if it works, then we can go forward on making sure you're upgrade proof.

As the error - it happens because something in your child theme's top-bar.php is looking for a file called navigation.php in the parent theme. There is no such file in the parent theme, so it fails.

If you could post the top-bar.php to pastebin.com and provide us with a link we ~might~ be able to assist, but if it's too involved you'll have to have the original dev sort it for ya.

"... As the error - it happens because something in your child theme's top-bar.php is looking for a file called navigation.php in the parent theme. There is no such file in the parent theme, so it fails."

I checked/compared the newest version of the Social Theme (1.2.9) against the older version (1.2.7) I had before that:
The OLD version (1.2.7) of the Social Theme Parent Theme DID have a file called "nagivation.php".
The NEW version (1.2.9) of the Social Theme Parent Theme does NOT.

Could you (or MasonJames) please specify WHERE EXACTLY to paste the 2 code snippets you gave me?

For the first one you mean the child's style.css, correct?
(And just pasting it at the bottom of the doc, right?)

And for the top-bar.php in the child theme (yes, I have that - see my pastebin.com link above with the exact code I have there; or here again: http://pastebin.com/JxP15GdT ): WHERE EXACTLY should I paste the code you kindly gave me?
-> I tried pasting it at the bottom, above the last three

This is the code he was telling you to comment out. All I did was add in "/*" before the code and "*/" after it. Anything in between those two sets of characters (including multiple lines if you want) is commented out and skipped over as if it were never there - you will still see it of course."

I don't mean to be negative, but, if you don't mind me thinking out loud:

I pay over $400/year to wpmudev.org, a larger part of which is the attraction of the ability to get support.

I guess my points being, if you are open to constructive feedback:

1) I am not a coder (well..., that's why I need support from sites like this one! :wink:, so it would be great if the feedback from the developers (like Richie, the Social Theme dev) would keep that in mind, when giving feedback.
Apparently, he already delivered "the solution", but I, as a layman, didn't know what to do with it, since it wasn't clear enough for a non-programmer.
Too bad, since Richie already made the effort of giving me the solution, but I still was in the dark re how to actually implement it.

2) Would be nice if I got a response quicker than 3 days later, which it is now.
I am not saying 24 hours. But 2 days would be nice. :wink:

Was I allowed to say this without being an a**hole? :wink:

Please don't get me wrong: I DO appreciate the feedback I am getting here.

Re my other point/question in my last post: I assume I am correct thinking that Richie meant the style.css of the child theme.

We're continually working on making our internal processes here quicker and more efficient. We've had a huge influx of new members recently and are still working to get things in order. We're hoping to achieve initial responses within an hour and followup in less than 24 hrs. thereafter.

Thanks for your patience with us and for posting the solution and your feedback here.

This is the only thread that I found related to (or the same) the problem I am having. I added the snippet of code to keep all embeds the same size but am still having the video overlap into the sidebar:

Thanks for chiming in here. This thread is referring to a rather old version of both BuddyPress and the theme. The code has changed dramatically since this time.

Would you kindly open up a new ticket and explain your issue (I saw a video overlapping in the profile area and I bet we can help get that sorted for you. You can even provide a link back to this thread for reference, but that way we can address your specific need in a brand new area.

On first glance it seems like the iframe is loading the width which goes outside the area so it may just be a matter of choosing different settings from the embed options from youtube.
